Puracy - Natural Hand Soap (Liquid)

This award winning vegan hand soap from Puracy has featured on NBC, FOX and ABC for good reason.

With a soothing lavender and vanilla fragrance, this soap is infused with Vitamin E, Aloe Vera and Sea Salt to naturally moisturize your skin and contains no sulfates, parabens, phosphates or petrochemicals.

The product is formulated by doctors, and is hypoallergenic and gluten- free so it’s safe for sensitive skins of all age types.

What We Love

Besides from ticking nearly all boxes on the healthy ingredients checklist, this product also supports it’s local community. The beautiful floral design on all of its bottles was hand- drawn by local artists, a feature which is evident in all Puracy products.

The Downside

It’s not organic! Though we cannot complain with it’s extensive list of beneficial natural ingredients and it’s absence of harmful toxins and chemicals, if this product was produced organically it would be the without a doubt, the most perfect vegan hand soap! Also, as this soap only has one fragrance, some of the reviewers pine for more variety when it comes to fragrance.

Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Hand Soap

Made with 98% plant- based ingredients such as olive oil, aloe vera and other essential oils, Mrs. Meyer's hand soap is non-drying and leaves your hands feeling soft and smooth.

It is sulfate and paraben free with no artificial colors, with added glycerin (from corn) to attract moisture.

It comes in a variety of fragrances, some of which are Basil, Geranium, Rosemary, and Honeysuckle.

You can also plop one of these soap bottles into your guest bathroom; you'll have your friends and family raving about how much they love the soap.​

What We Love

The variety of unique fragrances! If you are someone who likes a different assortment of fragrances, or someone who enjoys a more interesting scent, then Mrs. Meyers does not disappoint. Some more individual scents of the range are Rhubarb, Radish, and Parsley.

The Downside

These hand soaps are not hypoallergenic or gluten- free so for those with more sensitive skin, these might not agree with your skin. Also, some reviewers agree that some of the scents do not have the best smell, so when purchasing online, choose wisely, as to not be stuck with a fragrance you would rather not have on your hands.

Dr. Bronner’s Organic Pump Soap

If this isn’t enough to persuade yourself to buy some, then it’s their unique ingredient list that might do so.

As well as essential oils and other plant-based ingredients, the soap uses organic shikakai, a fruit from the small South Asian Tree, Acacia Concinna which had been used in India for skin and hair health for millennia.

The hand soap comes in Peppermint, Lavender, Lemongrass Lime and Tea Tree scents and has a Baby Unscented hand soap option as well.

What We Love

It’s both natural and organic! The only soap on this list to be deemed organic, this makes this soap a worthy choice for hand cleanliness. Dr. Bronner’s can also boast having five generations of soap- making experience under their belt, the owner’s family crafting soap since 1858.

The Downside

Again, this soap is neither gluten- free or hypoallergenic, so it will not suit all skin types. Some reviewers also complain that the product is quite pricey for what it is and some of the scents have a slight antiseptic smell.

Puracy Natural Foaming Hand Soap

If you are a fan of the normal liquid soap of the same brand, then you will surely love Puracy's﻿ foaming﻿﻿ hand soap.

Consisting of the same ingredients and soothing distinct scent the added foaming counterpart allows less soap to be used each time you use it, saving your pockets, as well as the environment.

This soap is also a great option if you are concerned with and sensitive to products with harsh chemicals and additives.

Putting aside the quality of their products and the social impact, Puracy is also great when it comes to customer service. They stand behind their products and if you ever have a problem, just contact them, and they are more then willing to rectify the issue. Thumbs up for a great product and a great company.​

What We Love

The foaming component of this product takes something we already love, but makes it more cost-effective and environmentally sound. The lavender and vanilla scent is present but not too overpowering!

The Downside

Like it’s original counterpart, this soap is not certified organic. Some reviewers have also mentioned that the new foaming bottle can sometimes be faulty. If this happens, however, the company is happy to send you a new bottle free of charge.

The two available scents sold are Shea Butter & Oatmeal and Vanilla & Sweet Orange.

What We Love

The addition of shea butter gives this soap an extra moisturizing component, also leaving your hands smelling pleasantly creamy. It’s also gluten-free, so it’s safe for those suffering from a celiac intolerance. Also, the price is very reasonable!

The Downside

A lot of reviewers have complained that the pumps break easily, and the soap can leak out of the pump, leaving the bottle sticky with residue. Also, some reviewers think that though inexpensive the price added with the faultiness of the pump is not worth that much.

Hi Maria.
Please visit this page on Dr Bronner’s website to read their stance on how they ethically source their palm oil.

Here’s a snippet, but I suggest following the link above to read their full article:“We buy palm fruits exclusively from 500 small organic family farms. These farms were developed without the widespread clear-cutting of rainforest and resulting devastation to local primates that are common nowadays with many of the newer, larger-scale palm oil plantations.”
